The distributed synchronization of LSNSs is a significant topic and has attracted a lot of attention (Ren and Beard, Distributed consensus in multi-vehicle cooperative control: theory and applications. Springer, Berlin, [1], Su et al., IEEE Trans Autom Control 58(5):1275–1279, [2], Yu et al., Automatica 49(7):2107–2115, [3], Yu et al., IEEE Trans Ind Inf 9(4):2137–2146, [4], Meng et al., Automatica 70:173–178, [5].
